From: The Land Of Ying And Yang The Zodiac was one of the many failed characters of Ed Leslie aka Brutus Beefcake during his run in WCW. He might hold the record for having the most names of any wrestler in WWE/WCW history, but it's The Zodiac that was a really bizarre one. They painted up his face with black and white colors, then had him wear those colors and he was a member of the heel stable known as the Dungeon of Doom in 1995. Keep in mind that everybody knew who he was as well as all the other guys in the group, but WWE felt like giving them over the top gimmicks was some creative thing. What was unique about The Zodiac is that he was billed from The Land of Yin and Yang. That's the Chinese philosophy of shadow and light where they say that black is white, up is down and yes really means no. It's basically a place where the opposite is what matters rather than what you really see. Of course it's a fictional place too. There wasn't a long career for Brutus as The Zodiac, but he will always be remembered for how ridiculous it was to be billed from The Land of Yin and Yang.
